Exceptional evening visits and outdoor cinemas enrich the post-lockdown cultural offer
Marseille has prepared a wonderful surprise for its citizens, namely – free museum access until the beginning of January. What is more, the second-largest city in France has a list of new and exciting cultural experiences for the summer.
With the reopening of its museums after the coronavirus lockdown, the “oldest city in France” decided to extend the free access to municipal museums. So far, free entry was only available on the first Sunday of every month and every day for children under 18, and EU students aged 18 to 26.

This gesture is meant as an opportunity for all Marseille residents to discover or rediscover the richness of the local cultural establishments and to enjoy museum family tours after the lockdown.

Outdoor cinema screenings are also organized as part of the 25th Ciné Plein Air Marseille festival, in partnership with Ciné Plein Air and Le Tilt.
Providing free and extended access to culture is certainly one of the best ways to lift the spirit of local residents after months of lockdown as well as to bring the cultural sector back to life.
